This is a list of the species that appear on SpongeBob SquarePants. Technically, many of these are not actually species, but other levels of biological naming.

Giant Clams can take the place of animals such as wolves, as they are sometimes shown howling (Texas) and attacking people (Tea at the Treedome). The most notable clam is Old Bluelip from the episode Clams. the other clams that have appeared on the show are the Giant clam from Tea at the Treedome, the clams from Texas, the clam from Porus Pockets, and the clams from No Free Rides.

The underwater equivalent to birds, scallops resemble clams but are much smaller in size. A notable scallop is Junior from Rock-a-Bye Bivalve. Other scallops that have appeared are Mr. Krabs' Former Pet Scallop, the scallops that SpongeBob killed in To Love a Patty, and the scallops from One Krabs Trash.

A mythical (fictional in reality) creature that attacks and eats sailors. The Abominable Snow Mollusk is in this species. It might technically be a cephalopod because it looks more like one then the other mollusks in this list, but this is unconfirmed.

The most notable example is Shelia Squid. Some squids, in addition to octopi, appeared in the episode Cephalopod Lodge because they are cephalopods. It is possible that the members of Tentacle Acres are also squids, but this has not been confirmed. Another squid appears in Jailbreak! as one of Plankton's inmates.

Either the Sneaky Hermit or the hermit thief, if they are not the same crab, and the Victim Hermit.

Only two or three Hermit crabs have appeared in the SpongeBob Universe. The most notable is the Sneaky Hermit, which appeared in the game Lights, Camera, Pants! and may have appeared in the episode Life of Crime. However, that may have just been another hermit crab. The other crab also appeared in Life of Crime, he was a victim in a fake thievery on a show called Crustacean Crime Theater.

While in reality this is just an expression for catchy music, in the SpongeBob universe it is a species that inhabits the heads of people who become too obsessed with music. Appearing in an episode of the same name, an earworm infects SpongeBob and later Squidward.

In the SpongeBob universe, nudibranches resemble small cute fish, which can evolve into huge, monstrous and dangerous creatures, Puffy Fluffy being a notorious example. In reality, nudibranches are sea slugs and look nothing like the aforementioned.

Technically, this is a clade.

Leech

Numerous leeches are briefly seen in Prehibernation Week, along with a place called the Leech Farm which was only mentioned. An Ancestor of Gary that was a leech appeared in Dunces and Dragons.

Anchovies, in the SpongeBob universe, are known for making sounds like "meep", though can speak English as well. They are notorious around the Krusty Krab for gathering in large schools for food, nearly destroying the restaurant in the pilot episode.

Contrary to real-life standards, the lionfish is a fish with a lion's head and claws. One appears in Spongicus, set to attack Patrick who has sausages around his neck, but ends up attacking Plankton instead.

Jellyfish are commonly known in the series to represent bees, due to their stings and jelly. There are known to be Queen Jellyfish just like bees, however there are King Jellyfish as well. The species are involved in the practice of jellyfishing. While pink is the most common color of a jellyfish, they can come in different physical appearances and species.

In Patty Hype, a restaurant called the Shell Shack is told to have a talking dog, but the people of Bikini Bottom have no idea what dogs are. There's also Plankton's Labrador (as a pun) seen in Plankton!.
